Tales Of Power
Tales Of Power – It documents the extraordinary conclusion of Castenada’s apprenticeship with don Juan (Yacqui) and as such, should have ended here. But like a blockbuster movie with interminable bad sequels, Carlos Castenada continued to crank out increasingly lousy permutations of the don Juan teachings theme that degenerated into obfuscation and just plain silliness. Lost was the focus and tautness of the earlier works. Carlos Castenada should have stopped here, master of a path with heart bequeathed to him by the Yacqui old ones and a thousands-of-years old oral tradition. He chose instead to create a don Juan franchise with Tensegrity workshops and other such nonsense available at your local New Age emporium. Only Carlos Castenada diehards will want to read much beyond Tales Of Power. The books written after this shows a Castenada more in pursuit of a fat bank account then a Shaman’s power and knowledge.
